Methyl bromoacetate → HCID 66629732, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

N,N-Diisopropylethylamine (3 mL, 17.16 mmol) was added to a solution of (trans)-2-phenylcyclopropanamine hydrochloride (1.5 g, 8.58 mmol) in 70 mL of CH3CN. After complete dissolution of the amine the methyl 2-bromoacetate (930 μL, 9.44 mmol) was added and then stirred overnight at room temperature. After solvent removal the crude was purified by flash chromatography eluting with CH2Cl2/MeOH (99:1 to 90:10) to get methyl 2-((trans)-2-phenylcyclopropylamino)acetate as colourless oil (1.76 g, Yield=100%).
